I would give Petracca - minus 10….pathetic effort from him today,

Pathetic? 
he was one of few that put in a strong effort all game. Missed some targets and goals but very far from pathetic.

Agree that Trac was polarizing today. Had some good one on ones and tried to drag us back into the game.  Certainly not a bad game.  

BUT HIS MISS FOR GOAL FROM 25-30 METRES OUT STRAIGHT IN FRONT WAS HORRIBLE.  In the context of the third quarter, it was bad.

Our kicking for goal is putrid 

No one has any conftidence nor firs thecfirward line look cohesive.

Guess who coaches both Stafford?? 

What quals has he to be a forward AFL coach and goal kicker. ? 

Pressure seems to get the better of our forwards. Need to be more relaxed and first option trained.

Had a discussion last night about the Dees and who we could hope to see step more in the 2nd half of the year. Gussy Brayshaw was an interesting one. I said he was having a good year (and great to see him on the park given his concussion issues from a few years ago). But agree he’s hardly back to 2018 and is planning a more defensive wing type role. Thought he was very good against the bombers.

Can't make my mind up about Hibberd's game. Only a few possessions of his own, but kept Toby Greene's numbers way down, except for the matter of 3 goals in a low scoring game. I guess that's closer to a fail than a pass. (And I'm not suggesting Hibberd should be near the votes).

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
